The AgriShift® MLM-Red 8 Watt LED improves productivity and animal welfare by making natural daylight simulation easy with Dim-to-Red® technology. It is designed specifically for layer operations to calm flock, reduce injury, stimulate ovulation and egg production.
Productivity Enhancement
The AgriShift® MLM-R makes it easy to improve the production and welfare of your bird by providing natural daylight simulation. The optimized Dim-to-Red® light spectrum decreases time to peak production by stimulating ovulation through the release of reproduction stimulating hormones. Sunrise and sunset simulation eliminates stress inputs of abruptly switching lights on and off, which can lower mortality and support immune response. Research shows immediate changes in bird behavior, increased performance and lower overall stress indicators.
The Science Behind the Technology
The AgriShift® MLM-R has a deep red saturated light output, with an added blue and green spectrum, benefiting the vision of your bird. The enhanced red spectrum is the only spectrum which stimulates a hen’s hypothalamic and pineal oscillators, helping maintain circadian rhythms and promotes sexual maturity. It also stimulates the release of two reproduction regulating hormones essential for sexual maturation and daily egg production.
